A novel about the profound bond between grandparents and grandchildren on the Mongolian grasslands--a must-read for anyone who loves nature and animals. Eleven-year-old Jiashan, a Mongolian girl, lives with her parents in a small apartment in the city. Unexpectedly, her pregnant mother falls ill and has to rest in bed every day. Jiashan's aunt is asked to come and take care of her mother until she gives birth. Because their apartment is too small to accommodate another person, Jiashan's parents have to send her to stay with her grandfather for a while until her mother gives birth--about 153 days before her due date.
